Our volunteer schedule is summarized below, but the most reliable place to look is our sign up form, as that site reflects any last minute changes. Volunteers generally don't have to commit to a full shift; stop by when you can and stay as often as you'd like! 

FYI - masks are required inside the pantry during  all volunteer shifts. We always have them on hand if you don't have one with you!
😷😷​If you're not feeling well, please stay home and rest!
